P-51B Mustang 'Big Mac Jr.' - Eduard - 1/48 - Full Build Video

Eduard 1/48 P-51B Mustang 'Big Mac Jr.' | D-Day Build | Full Build Video
In this video, I build the Eduard 1/48 P-51B Mustang straight out of the box, using only the parts and details included in the kit. Eduard has packed this kit with excellent detail, making it possible to achieve a highly realistic and accurate replica without any aftermarket additions.

The build begins with the cockpit, where I carefully paint and highlight the molded-in details before assembling the rest of the aircraft according to the kit instructions. Once construction is complete, I finish the model using AK Xtreme Metal paints to create a convincing natural metal finish, complemented by the iconic D-Day invasion stripes.

For the markings, I chose 'Big Mac Jr.', one of the distinctive decal options included in the kit. The result is a beautiful representation of this legendary WWII fighter.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable build. The only challenges came from the small size of some of the parts and how delicate a few of the finer details are during assembly. With a little patience, however, the kit goes together exceptionally well and produces a fantastic-looking Mustang.

Sit back, relax, and follow along as I take you through the entire build process—from cockpit painting and assembly to the final metallic finish and weathering.
